My first thought was: why have I never heard of this? The answer seems to be: 2" x 3" photo paper costs $0.41/ea.
Mail-order professional photo prints are quite a bit cheaper than that. So, the main thing this contends with is other instant photo creation methods. Which are pretty niche ever since digital cameras became good.
Making sure they run well with Wine is probably what many game devs are dong who specifically want to support Linux. Right now the vast majority of games run out of the box on Wine, so there probably isn’t much a dev has to do if they want to make sure it runs great.
Why would you give up games to move to Linux? Been enjoying Cyberpunk and Guild Wars lately, and many games before that the last year. Honestly, at this point I don’t even check if games work with Linux, I just assume they do unless proven otherwise.
Check out Proton DB. Gives reports on how well things run. Anything Gold or higher is going to be a non-concern to play.
It was because developers historically were familiar with Windows and would just default to making a Windows product. You want a POS interface? Your developer is probably going to hand you a .exe and not a .deb. Then your next move is to tell the hardware division to put that .exe into production systems, at which it is too late for the hardware division to argue you just chose the more expensive option without thinking.
This is changing, particularly as many platforms make it trivial to compile for different OSes.
In addition to what the other guy said, Mint is also more focused on desktop. A bunch of apps are pre-installed that one would expect on a desktop OS. Additionally, the default Mint UI, Cinnamon, feels very familiar to a Windows user. It has a start menu, task bar, tray, etc.
Debian is in the same family, and is more oriented for servers. It is super minimal out of the box, which is perfect when you want it to sit in the other room and perform specific tasks. However, you can install all the same programs, even the Cinnamon UI on Debian.
Really the difference is the out of box experience, but they are otherwise pretty similar.
Framework laptops can come with optionally no OS if you choose, and I can attest to their build quality being quite good.
I know there are some brands that will have Linux pre-installed, but I don’t know enough about them to comment.
Writing code is easier than understanding and reviewing another’s code. There is good reason code reviewers aren’t the interns and new hires.
My question to others is, why would you want to turn into a code reviewer for AI code? It’s a shitload harder. And if the goal is anything but a weekend project, you damn well better be understanding and reviewing it critically, otherwise one is shitting up the code base and forcing others to clean up your mess.
ASRock is my go-to now. Funnily enough they split off of ASUS a while ago. One continually got better, and the other worse.
Edit: I was wrong about that last part. I thought they had split off, but apparently they are a subsidiary. Well, either way, they seem better.
The amount of damage a newbie programmer without a tight leash can do to a code base/product is immense. Once something is out in production, that is something you have to deal with forever. That temporary fix they push is going to be still used in a decade and if you break it, now you have to explain to the customer why the thing that’s been working for them for years is gone and what you plan to do to remedy the situation.
A newbie without a leash just pushing whatever an AI hands them into production. O, boy, are senior programmers going to be sad for a long, long time.
From the source:
In the case of Vyacheslavova and Others v. Ukraine the Court held that there had been violations of the right to life/investigation on account of the authorities’ failure to do everything that could reasonably be expected of them to prevent the violence in Odesa on 2 May 2014, to stop that violence after its outbreak, to ensure timely rescue measures for people trapped in the fire, and to institute and conduct an effective investigation into the events. It also held that there had been a violation of the right to respect for private and family life in respect of one applicant concerning the delay in handing over her father’s body for burial.
Europe is fucked. Always gotta have America do everything! ;p
That’s just good planning. Natural disasters can easily require more than that in supplies. Buying extra cans and a few gallons of water isn’t expensive.
If you don’t have enough money to pay for delivery, you need to be picking it up yourself or, even better, cooking it yourself. DoorDash is horrendously expensive.
Now, the question will be, will they actually keep it around this time? This was a feature they introduced in Vista, and soon after killed.
Average citizens banding together into interest groups is a pretty common way to get things passed, and this chart agrees.
Your first link doesn’t separate correlation and causation. Is a high murder rate area more likely to cause people to buy a gun, or the inverse? I can tell you for sure people who are in a bad situation generally don’t just sit on their asses and do nothing.
When the intruder alarm goes off, police are minutes away, the intruder is only seconds from you. You are the only person who can reliably protect you. Buy a gun, learn how to use it, and keep it in an accessible place.
Unfortunately it is true, South Africa discriminates based on race.
Starlink, the satellite internet service operated by Musk’s SpaceX, has been unable to enter the South African market due to the country’s Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) regulations. These laws require that companies providing communication services be at least 30% owned by historically disadvantaged groups to receive an operating license.

Absolutely anything to avoid the metric system! If we, as Americans, has to measure in quotation marks, we damn sure will!
